Dry Ingredients:

  • 6 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups of raw almonds
  • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup ground flax seed
  • Optional: 1 cup dried fruit (add after cooked) –date pieces, cranberries, etc.
Wet Ingredients & seasonings:

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 honey
  • 2 Tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
  • ½ tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 300°F.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the wet ingredients together, and then stir into dry ingredients. Stir well to mix thoroughly.

Spread the mixture into two baking dishes. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Stir 2-3 times during baking to ensure even browning. If you use fruit, stir in once it has cooled. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 12 cups.
